“Fiddle” by Bad Flamingo – A Song Feature

 

      Bad Flamingo choose to be figuratively shrouded in mystery and literally clad in Western-style garb and masks that would be fitting for the Lone Ranger. The duo’s fusion of cowboy-era characteristics and modern-day sensibilities aligns with the neo-Western television series “Yellowstone” (starring Kevin Costner). So, it is not a surprise that songs from Bad Flamingo have been used in episodes of “Yellowstone.”
 
     “Fiddle” is the most recent release from Bad Flamingo. The vocals are purposeful and distinctive, with the beauty fully exposed during times of harmonization. At times, the guitar sound is similarly distinctive. The guitars are particularly appealing after the 2:23 mark.
 
     Bad Flamingo intentionally reveal very little about themselves. But it is clear they endorse the Oscar Wilde quote “Give a man a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” The quote is prominent on the homepage of their website. They describe their use of masks as a mechanism for providing some freedom and anonymity, allowing them to make it all about the music. Their homepage also includes the picture at the top of this post and the disclosure:
